my car has alot of swirls, not terrible, but alot by AG standards. I take care of my car really well, i only drive it in the summer, i wash it twice a week, and usually wax once a month. well that was all with those walmart products such as meguiars cleaner wax and gold class and turtle wax F21 "polish". It was time to let the big guns out on my car! Last year some jealous kid at my school dragged his backpack around on my hood and created a few scratches..... so i tried to remove them with turtle wax polish which didnt work so i bumped it up to turtle wax rubbing compound. OH my GOD who would need something this strong????? It scratched my hood up like no other and creates tons and tons of marring. Luckily i was able to remove all swirls and marring, most scratches, and make the car look alot better. There are still scratches in my paint, maybe i can remove them later. I only had time for the hood tonight.
Process:
DP clay
XMT3 orange LC pad
XMT2 white CCS pad to remove buffer swirls
Klasse AIO white CCS pad
Klasse SG grey CCS pad
Tomarrow i will apply Liquid Souveran
Before, look at what the rubbing compound did. (i only rubbed it on the corner of my hood where the scratches were)
